Experimental support for Cisco UCS Manager discovery with v5.0.3

As mentioned above, chassis, blade and service profile information will be discovered. Service profiles will be correlated to the corresponding blade devices and you will be able to search by service profile name from the dashboard search box. The blade device view will also have a link to the connected service profile.

With this new feature, the DATACENTER menu also gets a new tab named "Service Profile".

We have added an option in the network switch auto-discovery to choose the debug level. By default, the Normal Debug option will be selected. The Normal Debug option makes the debug information more readable and you can easily decipher the steps during the discovery phase. An example is shown below.

Based on user requests, we have added an option to add a direct connect relationship between a switch port and a device. In earlier versions, you could connect a device to a switch either via a patch panel or via a mac address but not directly. In v5.0.3, all three options are available. You can find the new option under the "Other" tab for the device view and edit pages.

All the notes fields as well as any free form text fields will now show line breaks. In previous versions, all text was displayed as a single line on the view page and line breaks were only visible on the edit page.

• The patch panel port display hover now has dynamic sizing based on the character length of the object.
• TAP ports and patch panel ports are ordered by module slot # and id now for consistency.

v5.0.3 update file is now available at device42 update page.
New users can grab the device42 virtual appliance from device42 download page. You will need to upgrade to v5.0.3 as we are still working on uploading the latest images for download.
